Notes on chopstick: Intimate stories from Tokyo and Me

  • Everyone is so pleasant!
  • The air is very dry here. I am constantly drinking water.
  • There is an extractor fan *in* my toilet. It also has a heated seat, electronic bidet and a swirl action flush. The fan speeds up as you get off, I suppose to reduce risk of injury during the earlier sitting phase (Think dog jowls in a speeding cabriolet).
  • People in suits are always (nearly always) very smart and have good knots in their ties.
  • They drive on the left! Correct
  • Speaking of driving - There is a Nissan car model named 'Cedric'.
  • Many signs are in English as well as Japanese. Some signs are only in English.
  • I can eat cabbage for breakfast. It compliments the yoghurt they also serve in the morning, very well.
  • The buildings are cool. One looks like one of those fortress gate shaped monster robots from the movie Tron.
  • I speculate: Because it's not tradition, handshakes here are limp and correspondingly uncomfortable.
  • I am tall!
  • Blogspot has turned all Japanese on me and I don't know which button to press next.
